“Since the second she’d walked in, one realization had become clear. I couldn’t have her. I wanted her too much. Giving in to a clawing need like this would ruin us both.”

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET is my first book by Kendall Ryan and I can say it wasn’t my last. Gavin Kingsley (and his brothers *swoon*) is a man of power who obviously keeps people at arm’s length, or so he miserably tried with Emma Bell, too, but failed. Gavin and his brothers run a successful business, a business who not just benefit men ….

After what seems like forever Emma finally got a chance to find out who this sexy regular is that comes for the past year to her favorite coffee shop. Little did she know Mr. Sexy Regular secretly hoped she would hop on the chance finding out who he is – even though he shouldn’t hope, want, or desire her.

“I was . . . intrigued. By your website.” She paused again, weighing her words. “I thought I’d come in and see what you had to offer.” About nine inches of hard –

Emma might be over her head with this one but she doesn’t know it yet, she craves him too much, is too curious what’s behind this mysterious and powerful man. Gavin is intense, brooding, demanding and dominating. At times I wanted to shake some sense into him! He’s like a jigsaw puzzle and this clever librarian really wants to solve it, one piece at a time.

Ryan’s writing is flawless and her newest released is more than a page-turner – it’s packed with sex-appeal, secrets and a whole lot of masculinity. It’ll keep you glued to your kindle because you (the reader) too, want to find out what’s the big, dark mystery behind Gavin Kingsley.

“Do I frighten you?” he asked, amused. “Of course not,” I lied. And he didn’t. He terrified me.
